May 3rd 2023
The DHSC has added four Covid-19 antivirals to Part VIIIC, which was launched in September 2021 to reimburse inclisiran.
The four antivirals will be available at no cost from Alliance Healthcare (further information will be available from Alliance Healthcare Distribution in due course).
| Drug | Pack size |
| Molnupiravir 200mg capsules | 40 |
| Lagevrio 200mg capsules | 40 |
| Nirmatrelvir 150mg tablets and Ritonavir 100mg tablets | 30 |
| Paxlovid 150mg/100mg tablets | 30 |
From May, a single activity fee will be paid, reimbursed at £2.50.
Pharmacy negotiator PSNC has said that the set reimbursement does not reflect the additional elements of activity associated with these items, and maintains that covid-19 activity should attract additional funding.
